to a representative Of great Metropolitan
newspaper. ''The boys run as fast as they
can for the cow doctor, and we all turn to
and get things ready for him. The COW
stands with her head down and neck
stretched out, and is altogether the most
woe-begone animal you ever saw"
What will happen II she doesn't find the
cud?"
''She will starve to death. You see a COW
has four stomachs, and what she eats through
the day goes into the first one. And at
night she brings up some of the food from
the first stomach and masticates IL. This Is
called chewing the cud. After she has done
this it goes to the second stomach and is di-
gested. If she loses her cud, she can't pass
the food from the first stomach to the second
and Is bound to starve.
When the doctor arrives he slaps the COW s
sides, twists her tail and looks in her mouth
Then he calls for piece of salt Goldfish and
puts it in her mouth. IL that fails to bring
the cud he rubs her throat and calls for Slip

and tries to get her to chew. That falling

never fails. The COW gives a heave when

of this city had occasion to call at house in
the court and hitched his spirited five-year
old colt in the street in front while he went
in. He had not been in the house many min
utes before this woman issued from her
dwelling and going up to the colt, unhitched
him and then stuck a pin in his neck to
brighten him into running away. The colt
whirled about and dashed out of the court,
but before he had gone far on High street he
was captured by man, and before any dam
age was done. The neighbors say this is
common trick of this woman's, and that she
never forgets to prod a horse in the neck with
